Institute of Arts, Sciences, & Technology

Mission Statement

The mission of the SUNY Institute of Arts, Sciences, and Technology is to use the assets of SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam to create new shared opportunities. The core mission of the Institute is to provide a mechanism to allow and facilitate the development of academic collaborations between SUNY Canton, SUNY Potsdam, and possibly other regional academic institutions. The Institute will provide structure and assistant for collaborative academic activities between the colleges where academic collaborations will be developed, approval will be achieved through agreed-upon shared governance processes, and programmatic offerings will be coordinated. Degree programs developed through the Institute will be offered under the auspices of either SUNY Potsdam or SUNY Canton; the Institute is not intended to be a degree-granting entity such as an extension site or branch campus.
